Translation of Déjala Que Baile from Spanish to English
Today when the earth is not flat
Nor is science for heretics
Today when cave paintings
No longer set the trend
Today when carrier pigeons
No longer make sense
Now that finally, networks unite the planet
She is not the delicate princess
Who came to this party to sit
She is not only what you see
Neither you nor anyone can stop her
Let her dance in other shoes
Ones that don't squeeze when she wants to take her steps
Let her dance in flared skirts
With bare feet drawing a new world
Let her dance
She is destiny, she is origin
She is the story and the writing that coexist
She is the beginning and she is the end
Dance with her at this global party
Today when there are no duels to the death
Every time someone irritates you
To vent
We have invented Twitter
If we think differently
It no longer smells like a dispute
Philosophers no longer toast with hemlock
She is not the delicate princess
Who came to this party to sit
She is not only what you see
Neither you nor anyone can stop her
Let her dance in other shoes
Ones that don't squeeze when she wants to take her steps
Let her dance in flared skirts
With bare feet drawing a new world
Let her dance
She is destiny, she is origin
She is the story and the writing that coexist
She is the beginning and she is the end
Dance with her at this global party
Hey, listen
It's the struggle
To rhyme
Let her dance at this party
With the idea of freeing herself from imposed morality
Not to blame herself for seeking the answer
If she has to marry, let it be with her protest
This is just my humble way of saying
That he who seeks a vase does not take care of his garden
So forget everything you've learned and go out to dance
Because no star asks for permission to shine
Let her dance in other shoes
Ones that don't squeeze when she wants to take her steps
Let her dance in flared skirts
With bare feet drawing a new world
Let her dance
Let her dance
